Zetron/Motorola ZR320
Posted: Tue May 20, 2008 4:13 pm
I bought a ZR320 at hamvention last weekend for a good price (or so I thought)... Of course, it came with no manual.
A call to Zetron gave me mixed results. A call on hamvention Friday gave me hope because I person I spoke with said he'd e-mail me the info he had, but I never received the e-mail. A call on Monday gave me a "we can't give you that information because we were under contract from Motorola". A call today was even worse (hoping I was going to be able to talk to the first guy who was pretty awesome) and was told that only Motorola would be able to give me the info I desired.
So, Zetron wants to be a bastard. I was able to look up the manual on MOL for a hefty $45, which is pretty crappy since Z gives manuals for the rest of their branded items for free via PDF download.
Does anyone have a ZR320 manual they might be either A) willing to sell me used, or just scan a few pages of DTMF programming, or the pinout for the programming jack on the front/interfacing to a computer (assuming RS-232 and a hyperterminal app is all that is needed). I also would like to know the pinout for the rear connectors so I can connect them into my GR300. I would think the pinout is the same as the RICK. I have three 16-pin connectors, one for Accessory, TX and RX.
If someone can help, they'll save me from buying a new manual I don't really want and that costs well over what I paid for this repeater controller/telephone interconnect.
